Short description:

As the central item of the Industrial Biotechnology program, we have chosen to use the metabolomics infrastructure present at TU Delft, TNO, NMC and DSM to study the influence of the extracellular metabolome on the intracellular metabolome and vice versa. As the yeast Saccharomyces is the most widely used microorganism in industrial biotechnology this has been chosen in both projects.

The central topic of the Industrial biotech program, consisting of two PhD projects, is the influence of the extracellular metabolome on the intracellular metabolome and vice versa. At the start of NMC, with its main focus on human applications, two organisations in the Netherlands (TU Delft and TNO) already had a sound track record with respect to metabolomics research in Industrial Biotechnology applications.
